is used.

The invention relates to an electrical totalizer device for racetracks with electrical Transfer of betting rates and betting information from multiple card issuing machines to a central adding device using rotating collective selector. With the known totalizer systems, there was a special line between each competitor the betting broadcasting machine and the central adding unit are provided. To be far from each other remote transmission points the system and caused by the number of lines To reduce operating costs, according to the invention, by connecting potential in different Combinations to a group of lines by means of relays controlled by the electrical connection between the pressed competitor key associated contact of the collective selector and the card issuing machine manufactured.

The embodiment of the subject matter of the invention shown in the drawing is sufficient for 80 competitors. By using the circuit arrangement according to the invention

Seven lines are sufficient to transmit the betting impulses from the betting station after the central adding device.

First, the overall arrangement of the system will be described with reference to FIG. This illustrates a dispensing machine SM for 2-mark slips and a dispensing machine PM for 20-mark slips. The number in which these machines are arranged must, of course, correspond to the requirements which can be expected depending on the size of the racetrack. A suitable number of machines can also be provided for issuing io-Mk.-slips or 2000-Mk.-slip machines, if this should be required. In the embodiment shown and described in detail below, it is assumed, however, that there are only machines for 2-Mk. Tickets and 20-Mk. Tickets. All machines are set up for a maximum of 80 horses as well as for win and place bets, with completely separate adding devices being used for both types of bets. Figure 2 also shows the win and place display device for a single horse and the win and place total display device. If, for example, someone with the officer of the 2-Mk. Ticket issuing machine SM Mk. 2. - wants to bet on horse no. 1, namely on profit, the officer adjusts the win button and the relevant horse button on the ticket issuing machine. This triggers a rotating selector located in the machine SM , so that it assumes the position corresponding to the depressed key. A key character is then sent to the adding system g ₀

running lines sent to energize the deciphering relay group DCR according to the key for the horse no. ι. Once this has happened, which generally only takes a fraction of a second, a lamp assigned to horse no. Ι lights up in the ticket issuing machine SM. The officer then presses the 2-Mk. Key in order to put the machine into operational readiness for receiving a character coming from the adding device, which starts the issue of the slip. The machine is provided with nine value keys for 2, 4, 6, 8, io, 12, 14, 16 and 18 Mk., And after pressing any of these keys the corresponding number of slips of the same amount is issued as soon as the horse key and the Win or place button are pressed once. This arrangement speeds up the process, since there is no need to press the horse, win or place button anew for each slip to be issued. As far as the deciphering relay group is concerned, it is energized in various combinations, as a result of which certain contacts of the bank of the collective selector SS are selected. Such a collective voter is assigned to each slip issuing machine and remains in continuous operation during the entire betting period. If the left voter arm of the voter assigned to the machine SM runs onto the bank contact selected by the relay group DCR , a circuit is closed via the right voter arm and the line 187 in order to energize a relay A through which the second -Mk.-slip counting voter SCS is gradually driven. This is assigned to the profit adding machine for horse no. 1, which controls the information to be published on the amount board. At the same time, a contact in the banks of another bus selector TS is selected by the Entzifferungsrelaisgruppe DCR is associated with the total profit indicator. This also remains in continuous operation during the entire betting period. Therefore, a character is sent over the line 191 to energize the relay B, which activates the drive magnet of the 2-Mk.-slip selector of the total display, which always receives the same character from the machine SM , regardless of which one the horse in question has been bet. If the character transmitted to the horse adding machine is properly registered, a character is reported back to the slip issuing machine SM via a special line in order to thereby start the machine's output device. Furthermore, the issue of further slips is prevented if the total profit indicator has not registered correctly. If the 4-Mk. Value key is pressed, the keys are not released after the first slip has been issued, but a further amount of 2 Mk then a second 2-mark slip was issued. Only then are the keys and the output mechanism returned to the normal position, so that the machine is ready to output further notes for the same horse or for other horses.

The note issued by the slip issuing machine is printed appropriately with certain particulars whose content needs the official can not be determined, such as date, name of the racetrack, number of the machine value of the wager amount and possibly a key character or keyword to fraudulent abuse to impede. Under the supervision of the officer is the imprint of the indication of the horse number and the types "win" or "place", which are determined by setting a swinging latch under the control of the win and place buttons.

If the bet had placed on place instead of win, you would have pressed the place button and not the win button. This would then have energized the switching relay C of the adder, whereby all of the key go lines going out from the note issuing machine would be switched through to another deciphering relay group DCR ' . would. This would make a suitable selection among the bank contacts of a special collective selector PSS , which would then pass the character on via line 188 to another indicator assigned to horse no. 1, on which all place bets are displayed. In a corresponding manner, a selection is made among the contacts of the bank of the Platzsammelwäh- xoo lers TPSS for the sum of the RM 2. slip, which in turn would pass on a similar symbol to the displayed indicator for the sum of the amounts placed on the spot.

It is now assumed that the official of the dispensing machine for RM 20 .-- Slip RM 20.— can be placed on the prize for horse no. The officer then presses the Winning button and the relevant horse button

his machine as well as the RM 20.Value key,

whereupon a corresponding key character is transmitted via the control lines of a deciphering relay group of the summing selector assigned to the relevant machine. The collective selector SPS, which is in continuous operation during the entire betting period, then runs on the selected contact of its bank at the appropriate time and energizes the relay D, which controls the counter PCS for counting the RM 20 slips, that of the winnings adding machine for horse no. 1 is assigned. That voter's arms will take a step

upstream to register the RM 20. bet and cause the number concerned to be displayed on the display. At the same time, a contact is selected in the bank of the collective selector TPSS for the sum of the RM 20 slips, which is assigned to the total indicator of the winning bets, in order to use this indicator for the slips provided for the totaling of the RM 20 th slips

Voters to take a step forward. If the bet is properly registered, then a character is sent to the slip issuing machine PM so that the slip issuing device starts up. In a manner similar to what would happen with the machine for issuing RM 2 slips, if place were placed, the place button would then be pressed instead of the win button, energizing the switching relay E to transmit the key to a deciphering relay group that the

Indicator for the placed RM 20.

Amounts is assigned.

If the voter SCS has carried out ten steps for counting the RM 2 .— slips of any indicator and thereby registered ten separate RM 2 .—— bets, a circuit is closed for the relay D , which drives the drive magnet of the associated voter PCS to Adding the RM 20. — Taxes amounts. This adds an amount of RM 20.- to the total. The during this

Period to the voter to add the RM 20.

Amounts usually from RM 20.

Note output machines directly transmitted characters are temporarily held up, so that the two signs coming from different sources do not coincide and cause malfunctions during registration.

Figure 2 and the preceding description deal only with the operation of the dispensing machines for RM 2. and RM 20.— slip.

However, if machines get to the output of RM200 .—-- and 2000. Slips of paper for listing,

their operation essentially corresponds to that described above, only those of the registrations originating from the output machines of these higher values directly Adder selectors of the order in question. This is again during the Submission of a sum of ten RM 20 .--

The overall system of the arrangement according to the invention is indicated above. Now the details will be explained with reference to FIGS. 3 to 13, which are shown in FIG Fig. Ι visible way are to be placed next to each other. 3, 4 and 5 show the circuit arrangement a dispensing machine for RM 2.

One pole of the operating battery is illustrated by an arrow for the sake of simplicity, the other pole, however, is shown as grounding. In the described embodiment it is assumed that the entire system is to be operated with a voltage of 50 volts, with only the indicator lamps excluded are those that are connected to a 230 volt lighting network.

Both the collective selector and the adding selector are automatic as rotary stepholders Telephone systems of the usual design and are by ratchet and Ratchet driven electromagnetically, preferably so that the upstream of the Voter arms when the drive magnets are de-energized. With their usual training these voters have a contact bank or several contact banks over the brushes or voter arms are led away in a corresponding number at a speed, which can amount to 60 to 70 switching steps per second. Become such voters appropriately with two-armed voter arms and a semicircular contact bank with 25 contacts equipped. However, the capacity of the voter can be easily reduced to Enlarging 50 contacts by an arrangement that uses one-armed selector arms and be connected in pairs in such a way that the contact bank makes contact while

the arm of the other contact bank is empty.

The collective voters, which are part of the output machines for a certain type of slip, are arranged so that the arms of one voter are never set to the same bank contacts are like the arms of any other voter in the group at the same time. This result is achieved through a special one Switching of their working circuits. The first voter in the group who controls the others is namely driven by current surges that come directly from an external source are fed to the drive magnet, while all other selectors are local drive circuits who are under surveillance of their bank contacts and voter arms. So is the bank contact 1 of the first voter with the bank contact 2 of the second voter, with the Bank contact 3 of the third voter and with bank contact 4 of the fourth voter and so on connected across the entire group of voters. A corresponding circuit also have the other contacts. In addition, the circuits are connected so that the various Voters are all set to contacts that are immediate to the voters of the tax voter arms are laid out in multiple circuits. As an immediate multiple circuit for the banks is provided about which the information is collected, the voters are therefore always around one Step out of phase. The control switch is not shown, but Fig. 7 gives a typical one Execution for this again, their mode of operation in the description below will be explained.

Let us now explain the circuit switching that is made at the start of the betting process. The official presses the sum winning key TWK (FIG. 7) and, if betting on place is permitted, the place key, not shown. He also presses the start button, e.g. B. SK (Fig. 7) assigned to the various horses and their numbers corresponding adding machines. When the sum win button TWKvnia is pressed on a spring package, the associated control lamp TW and the line connected to all starter keys SK are grounded, while on the other spring package, earth is switched on to line 99 in order to switch the relay TB (Fig. 12). As a result, the collective selector TS of the total summing machine is started. By pressing the start button SK , the circuit of the associated control lamp SL is closed by one set of springs, while the relay MB (FIG. 7) is grounded on the other set of springs via line 158. This responds and opens to the anchors mb ^ -mb ^"1 own circuit of the Addierwähler shown in FIGS. 7, 9 and 10 for the amounts of RM 2.-, 20.-, 200.-, 2,000 and 20,000 .—. Furthermore, a circuit for the relay NC (Fig. 8) is closed at the armature mb ⁷ , which then connects the interrupter 301 to the first collecting

selector of the RM 2nd group connects so that

all voters in the group are left on. In addition, a circuit for the relay K is connected in series with a magnet STM at armature mb ³ , which is not energized at this point in time. Meanwhile the relay if energizes the relay NB ^{(Fig. 8) at its armature & 2} via the line 161, whereupon the breaker 303 is connected to the first selector of the RM 20.- group, so that all the voters of this group are started. The result is that when the total win key and all the starter keys belonging to the adding machines assigned to the various horses are pressed, the adding device is set in motion in order to register the amounts set.

It is assumed that the officer of the issuing machine has made a bet for the RM 2. slip

over RM 8.- on horse no. 40, namely for a profit. He then presses the key 40 assigned to the horse no. 40 and the win key WK (Fig. 3), whereupon a circuit is closed, the earth via the armature se ² and ic ³ , the wire 3, the right lying springs of the win key WK, the springs on the left of the horse button 40 and the winding of the relay S to the battery runs. In parallel with this, a circuit runs over the springs of the key 40 on the right and the line 10 to the bank contact 40 of the key character selector CS located in the slip issuing machine. Another circuit runs from earth via the springs on the left of the win button WK, the winding of the magnet TCM to the battery, parallel to the win lamp WL. Therefore, this lights up in the field of vision of the official and the race course visitor. When the magnet TCM is excited, a swinging pawl changes the printing types in the ticket issuing machine, so that they are profitable instead of being placed on a seat. If the relay 5 is energized via the circuit specified above, it grounds the line 15 at its armature s ² and thus starts the motor M of the slip dispensing machine. At the armature s ¹ earth is also switched on from the no break contacts of the button CK, the armature tr ¹ and se ¹ and the line 2 via the armature z ¹ to the relay TS. At the armature s ² the same grounding is transferred to the key lock magnet KLM , which then anipricht and locks itself through its armature klm ¹ , the line 4, the armature te ² and the normally closed contacts of the key CK via the earth itself. By energizing the magnet KLM , all keys are locked, so that any key that has been depressed or pressed cannot be released and another key cannot be pressed. The Re-

When excited, lais TS connects its armature ts ¹ battery to the line 14 to excite the magnetic clutch MCA , which attracts the drive wheel DW and the shaft of the S type disk TW and the selector arms W ¹ to W ^{16 of} the key symbol selector CS in Circulation staggered. The arms therefore run over their bank contacts, expediently at the rate of 60 contacts per second.

When the selector arm W ^{9 runs up} to the bank contact 40, which was grounded by pressing the button 40, a circuit is ^{parallel from the arm W 9} via the line 11 and the

»5 resistor χ connected to capacitor CC for winding relay Z (Fig. 3) closed. As a result of the action of the capacitor, the relay Z responds very quickly and opens the circuit of the relay TS at its armature z ¹ , whereby the clutch circuit is interrupted and a circuit is closed that runs via line 13 and energizes the stop magnet SM of the type wheel. This magnet then attracts the stop arm SA and presses it against the type wheel in order to lock it in the position it has reached. The relay Z continues to switch to the armature z ² earth via the line 5, voter arm W ^{16 of} the key symbol selector CS, the lamp 40L, the line 28 and the armature cor ¹⁰ connected to the battery, so that the lamp to illuminate the number 40 lights up which is visible to both the official and the race course visitor who places the bet. Therefore, after the horse key and the win key are pressed on the slip issuing machine, a visible sign indicates that horse # 40 has been wagered for win. In addition, the normally open contact ^{40 belonging to the selector arm TF 16} is connected to the contacts 40 assigned to the selector arms W ¹¹ , W ¹⁹ , W ¹² , W ¹¹ and TF ¹⁰ via a line connecting the banks, and this connection is made by the selector arms via the lines 21 , 22, 23, 24 and 25 and the normally closed contacts of the armature cor ² " ⁶ , pb ¹ ^ ⁵ and $ / · ~ ^{β are} switched through to the windings of the storage relays AA, AB, AC, AD and AE of the deciphering group shown in FIG These relays respond via their lower windings connected in series with the relay BF and close at the armatures aa ¹ , ab ¹ , ac ¹ , ad ¹ and ae ¹ circuits for their upper holding windings via the line 93 to earth at armature « ² The relay BF responds and switches its armature bf ¹ through to the upper winding of the relay Si? Via line 78, whereupon the relay Si ?, a relay operating with two switching steps, its light armature sr ¹ attracts and creates a circuit for his prepared for the second switching step that will take place later.

The lighting up of the lamp 401. gives the Officials at the slip machine and the racecourse visitor that the bet was correct is registered and that the value key can now be depressed. With the one described For example, the RM 8 key shown in FIG. 4 is depressed, whereupon

the spring switch X on the side is mechanically closed and earth is switched through from the line 4 (Fig. 3) via the contacts of the spring switch X and the winding of the key lock magnet VKM to the battery. By energizing this magnet, all value keys are locked in a circuit controlled by the armature te ² or the CK key. On the left-hand side, the contact springs of the RM 8 - value key earth are switched through to bank contact 5 of the value selector VSW, while the contact springs on the right-hand side of the key earth are switched through by line 5 via line 32, the normally closed contact springs controlled by the cam magnet arm CMA, the line 31, the anchor te ¹ and the winding of the relay SC to the battery. The relay SC responds thereupon and closes a blocking circuit for itself at the armature se ⁵ . In addition, the earth is switched off at anchor se ¹ from lines 2 and 5 and at anchor se ² from the win button and thus from the horse button 40 go. At anchor se ³ is a circuit for the relay Ti? prepared and a circuit is closed at the armature se ⁴ , which leads to the drive magnet VDM of the value switch VSW , whereupon the magnet is excited, but its selector arms are not yet connected upstream. The relays S and Z are now de-energized, but the relay SC and the key locking magnets KLM and VKM remain locked on the key CK. too

In order not to make the description unnecessarily complicated, the further mode of operation of the slip issuing machine should not be explained at first, but rather the circuits of the summing system should be presented. As can be seen, the system illustrated in FIGS. 7 to II comprises only the profit adding machine for horse no. 40. Similar adding machines are available for the other horses, to which the connection via the selector arms IF ²¹ and W ^{22 of} the collective selector SS ( Fig. 7) is switched through. While the banks of the selector arms W ²¹ and W ^{22 are connected} in multiple connection with all collective selectors of the group, the connection of the arms W ²³ and W ²ⁱ naturally only extends as far as the deciphering relay group associated with the slip issuing machine shown.

It will now be further described how the registration of a winning bet amounting to RM 2.00 on horse no. 40 takes place. Since the earth is now from the voter arm W ^{16 of} the

Key character selector CS (Fig. 5) and thus also of the other selector arms PF ¹⁰ , PF ¹¹ , PF ¹² , TF ¹³ and PF ^{14 is} switched off, the circuits for the lower windings of the deciphering relay shown in Fig. 6 are separated, whereupon the relay BF is triggered and at its armature bf ¹ disconnects the ground from the line 78, which extends to the junction of the windings of the relay SR . Therefore, this is excited over both windings in series and then separates the connections of the note issuing machine to the deciphering relay group at its armatures sr ² to sr ⁷ and sr ⁹ , while a circuit is closed which is connected to earth via the upper winding of relay C (Fig. 12), the armature « ⁴ , the line 75, the armature sr ⁸ (Fig. 6), the armature« α ² , ab ² , the line 94, the armature ac ² , ae ² and the line 100 to the bank contact 40 des Sammeiao voter SS that belongs to this deciphering relay group in question. The selector SS, which is shown in Fig. 7, represents one of the dependent selector and is arranged so that the interaction of the relay G with the magnet SDM automatically circulates the selector until its arms PF ²⁵ or PF ²⁶ on the Bank contact grounded by the group's control selector. Then the relay G is short-circuited so that the voter arms are stopped. When the control selector advances one step, all of the voters who are dependent on it also move forward because the relays G in question are no longer short-circuited. Since those banks which correspond to the contact banks swept by the arms PF ²⁵ and W ^ze are connected to one another in the manner explained above, it cannot happen that the voter arms corresponding to the arms W ²¹ and PF ²² of two voters at the same time on in Multiple circuit interconnected bank contacts accumulate, although the voters are operated synchronously. This fact enables the arrangement described below, with the help of which the

RM 2. Registrations of all collective voters

serve the group to control a single stepping relay connected to the adding machine of the horse in question.

In order to return to the mode of operation of the collective selector SS, the relay G no longer remains short-circuited if the grounding of bank contact 1 of arm W ^{26 is} switched off when the collective selector is started, and therefore responds and closes the circuit at its armature g ² for the drive magnet SDM. This opens the circuit of the relay G at the springs sdm ¹ , which therefore drops out and interrupts the circuit of the magnet. The voter arms are therefore connected up one step, and the relay G is then again short-circuited until the control selector advances again. In this w ay voters arms are placed on the bank contacts in circulation ^r. When the selector arm W ^{2S runs} onto the bank contact 40, the previously traced circuit, which runs from earth via the winding of the relay C (FIG. 12), via the selector arm PF ²³ (FIG. 7), the line 305, becomes the armature g ¹ , the line 306, the selector arm PF ²¹ , the bank contact 40, the line 98 and the armature mb ² for the winding of the surge relay MA and the battery. The relay MA is then excited and closes the excitation circuit of the drive magnet SCM of the RM 2 at its armature ma ^1.

Adding selector SCS. The relay C (Fig. 12) is connected in series with the relay MA (Fig. 7) and closes the circuit of the delay relay B at its armature c ² and is locked by means of the armature l · ² and its lower winding. During the energization period of the relay B , the armature δ ³ , the line 198, the armature ta ² and the lower winding of the relay TA earth are switched through to the battery, whereupon the relay TA, which can be excited in two switching steps, its light armature ta ¹ picks up to prepare the circuit for full excitation at a later date. In addition, a circuit for the lower winding of a further delay relay A is closed at armature b ¹ , which, when excited, locks via its lower winding, armature a ³ , line 73 and the grounding at armature sr ^10. When its armature δ ^{3 is} switched on, the relay B enables the relay TA (Fig. 12) to be fully energized via both windings in series and via the earth on the armature tb ¹ and the line 200. The relay TB is at the start of betting registrations using the sum win button TWK ioo been excited. The relay TA , when energized, prepares the selection of a contact from the bank of the RM 2. · sum collective selector TS , the mode of operation of which will be described later.

To come back to the mode of operation of the collective selector SS, the circuit of the relay G is interrupted when the drive magnet SDM switches on its armature sdm ¹ , whereupon the relay G drops out and the armature g ¹ the circuit for the relay MA (Fig. 7) opens. As mentioned, this relay was energized in series with relay C (Fig. 12). The relay MA therefore drops out and opens the circuit of the drive magnet SCM of the RM 2 .—- adder selector SCS of the adder assigned to the horse, whereupon the selector arms are advanced to the second contact group of the banks. In this position, the grounding of the bank contact 1 of the selector arm PF ^{31 is} no longer switched through via the line 141, and therefore the relay LA drops

(Fig. Ii) that belongs to the SDS selector for displaying the RM 2. amounts. Furthermore,

on the armature la ² grounding, which is switched through from the armature mb ¹ via the line 140, is applied to the winding of the drive magnet SDSM by means of the switching springs sdsm ¹ . As a result, the arms of the selector SDS are connected upstream of the bank contacts 2, while the relay LA is again energized from the ground via the line 142. Therefore, the W ^T ähler is stopped in this position, receives the next surge until the relay MA. When the relay LA is re-energized, earth is again connected to the selector arms TF ¹²¹ to PF ¹²⁵ and TF ¹²⁷ to JF ¹³¹ , whereupon circuits for the lamps 3, 7, 11, 15, 19 and 23 are closed via the second contacts of the banks concerned (Fig. 11) to announce to the racecourse attendees that a RM 2nd bet is on

the horse in question has been registered. Similarly, as the betting proceeds, the arms of the market display selector become SDS

in accordance with the arms of the RM 2

Adder selector SCS advanced, which causes other combinations of lamps to light up in sequence and the number of RM 2. bets

indicate that are placed on the horse in question. Since the setting of the display selector SDS is monitored by the grounding of a particular bank contact and not by its supply of power surges, it can be seen that if the power supply were to be interrupted for any reason, the operation would nevertheless continue as it should and the power supply would resume begins so that a false display, for example due to the loss of one or more power surges, could not occur. According to this arrangement, the indicator can also be designed as an independent, self-contained unit which can be removed as a whole for the purpose of adjustment, the electrical connections being made via spring contacts. The display device could even be temporarily removed while it is in operation, since after it has been installed it would immediately display the correct number that is to be announced.
The ten lines running from the various adder selectors to the associated display devices are expediently connected directly to signal lamps, as are customary in telephone cabinets. These indicator lights are located on the back of the display devices and indicate the displayed number to the officer. Similar lamps can be installed in the headquarters to inform the officials there about the status of the bets.

For the sake of simplicity, it has been assumed that the indicator is simple shows the number of RM 2. bets instead of the actual mark amount, since then all displays can get the same circuit. But it should be obvious without further ado that devices for displaying the actual amount of the mark could just as easily be made.

Figure 14 illustrates the lamps which are lit to indicate the various digits. For each point, a lamp field with 24 lamps is provided, which is composed of four vertical rows of six lamps each, as FIG. 11 shows in detail. The arrangement is of course chosen quite arbitrarily and can easily be changed by changing the circuit of the bank contacts of the selector SDS. The lamps used correspond to those usually used for electrical indicators, but for a clearer representation of the number each lamp is preferably inserted into a cylindrical tube which protrudes slightly over the end of the lamp and which is matt black on the inside to prevent light reflection. It has also been found to be expedient to cover the surface of the display with a screen made of fine wire gauze in order to improve readability in strong sunlight.

When the arms of the selector 5CS run up to the tenth bank contact, the ^{earth connected to the arm W 33 is switched} through via the line 151, the armature ax ² , the lower winding of the two-step relay AX and a resistor to the battery, so that the relay is easy Armature ax ¹ picks up and prepares the circuit for its full excitation. Then go the voter arms from the tenth position on the registration of another

RM 2. Bet further ahead, that's how it will be

Relay AX fully energized via the circuit: earth, armature mb ³ , line 152, armature ax ¹ , both windings of relay AX and battery. The relay AX then switches the line 151 at its armature ax ² to a similar two-step relay AY in order to store the next RM 20 .-- registration from the RM 2nd addition selector and continues to switch the grounding of the second bank contact of the lower bank of the armature ax ³ Transmission selector STS . When the two relays AX and AY are energized, accordingly

two separate RM 20 registrations

the banks of the marrow transfer selector STS . Since the arm W ^{is of} the selector STS is set to the first bank contact at this point in time, the relay K is energized in series with the drive magnet STM in the manner explained above and connects the circuit for the relay NB to its armature k ² its armature nb ¹ grounding current impulses with a frequency of, for example, 40 per second the magnet of the control

Collective voter of the RM 20 group.

The collective voters of the RM 20 group are similar

the voter SS, and their contact banks are connected to the deciphering relay groups of the slip

dispensing machines for the RM 20. amounts

tied together. These voters are controlled in a similar way to the RM 2nd collective voter, so that they revolve in synchronism without, however, at the same moment on the same Contact to be hired. There the arms

of the RM 20th collective selector constantly circulate,

will be the RM 20. registrations from the

contacts connected to the deciphering relay groups and the one shown Embodiment switched on via line 400 (Fig. 7), (it is assumed that that this to the bank contact 40 of all

RM 20. collective selector is connected), the

Armature ml x ⁸ , line 157, armature k ³ (Fig. 8), line 162 and the winding of relay OA (Fig. 9) to the battery. The relay OA speaks then in series with a relay C corresponding relay (Fig. 12) and closes the armature above ¹ the circuit for the driving solenoid of the PCM RM 20 Addierwählers PCS (Fig. 9). When the arms of the relevant RM 20. collective selector leave contact 40, the relay OA is triggered and accordingly the arms of the RM 20. adder selector PCS are advanced to the second bank contacts. In this position, the arm W ^{51 switches} through the earth line connected to the second bank contact to a display selector similar to that shown in FIG. This then closes the circuits for the lamps of the RM 20. display unit required for display. The amount in the RM 20. Addition selector is thus displayed in a visible manner.

As already mentioned, arrangements have been made to prevent the RM 2.- Transmission selector outgoing RM 20. Registrations are superimposed on those which come directly from the RM 20. collective voters. Be for this purpose

the immediate RM 20. registrations

withheld in certain periods,

thus the RM 20. Amounts of the tens

can be properly fed to the RM 20. Adding selector. If the

Arms of the tax group selector of the RM 20.

Group have completed one cycle, the fiftieth bank contact of this selector switches to earth via the line 160 and the armature k ¹ to one terminal of the winding of the relay K. At the same time the grounding is switched through ^{to the battery via the line common to the bank contacts and the first bank contact and the arm W 43 of} the market transfer selector STS, the interrupt springs stm ¹ and the winding of the drive magnet STM , whereby the relay K is short-circuited and the magnet STM is excited. When the magnet falls as a result of the opening of its circuit, the arms TF ⁴¹ , W ⁴² and T ^ F ^{43 of} the selector STS are connected upstream to the second bank contacts. At the armature k ² , the circuit of the relay NB (Fig. 8) is interrupted, so that it drops out and the pulse circuit

of the collective tax voter of the RM 20 group

separates, thereby immobilizing all voters. At armature k ³ , a contact is opened in the circuit via which the RM 20. registrations are sent directly to the RM 20. adder selector. It is now assumed that only one of the transmission relays AX is energized at this point in time. When the arm W ^{11 then runs} onto the second bank contact, the armature ax ³ connects through the second bank contact and the arm W ⁴¹ and the winding of the relay PC earth to the battery. The relay PC is energized and closes with his ^two anchored a circuit for driving the magnetic STM, while at its anchor pe ³ ground through the line 162 to energize the the RM-20 PCS Addierwähler assigned relay OA is turned on. At the same time, the 90 'left terminal of the lower winding of the relay AX is grounded ^{on the armature 1} by means of the selector arm W ^{iz and the second bank contact.} The relay AX is now short-circuited so that it drops out and therefore separates the circuit of the relay PC at the armature ax ³ , which also drops out and in turn interrupts the circuit of the magnet STM and the relay OA of the RM 20. As a result, the arms of the selector STS are advanced to the third contacts, while the

Arms of the RM 20.

Proceed as follows to increase the number given by the display device by one. The display device is controlled via arms W ⁵¹ and W ^B2 . Since it was assumed that the second transfer relay AY is not energized at this point in time, the relay PC will not be energized when the voter arms run into the third bank contacts, so that the armature ay ^{s is} grounded via the bank contact, the voter nc arm W ^iS and the interrupter springs stm ¹ for winding the magnet STM is switched through, 'whereby the magnet is in turn excited to advance the arms a further step. If the selector arm W ^{i3 reaches} its fourth position, the battery is switched through by the magnet STM to the winding of the relay K and connected to the ground at the line 152. The relay K is therefore energized again, so that the relay NB (Fig. 8) responds again and closes the stepping circuit of the RM 20 collective selector. At the

Armature & ³ becomes the pulse relay OA of the RM. 20th

Adding selector is in turn connected directly to the fortieth bank contact of the RM 20th adding selector. These voters are now going into circulation to receive further registrations from the RM 20. deciphering relay groups. When the selector arms of the controlling collective selector again run into contact 50, the line 160 is grounded so that the relay K drops out and the market transfer selector STS can transfer further registrations to the RM 20. Adding selector which may have accumulated in the meantime. It should be noted that circuits for the relay NB are closed in the manner shown in parallel by all adding machines in operation. It should therefore be readily understandable that a ten transfer selector, e.g. the STS selector (Fig. 8), who would not have to transfer any stored registrations, would complete its operation and start the collective selector again before another transfer selector, the the tens transmission is running a little slower, would have reached its starting position. This would not result in any disadvantages, because the closure of the immediate impulse circuit depends on the excitation of the associated relay K , and therefore no impulse could be transmitted to the adding machine, even then not when the collective voters are in circulation, so the issue of a slip would be delayed until the next circulation.

If desired, the arrangement could also be made so that the control of the collective selector would be effected by the ii relays in series rather than in parallel as shown is. However, it is not absolutely necessary that the circulation of the collective selector is interrupted at all.

When the arm W ^{ss of} the RM 20. Adder selector PCS has carried out ten switching steps, the relevant bank contact earth is switched through to excite the relay P , which in turn closes a circuit for the delay relay Q and drops out as the arm W ^{5a advances further.} During the delay period after which the relay Q drops out, earth is switched through via the armature p ¹ , q ¹ , the line 404, the winding of the impulse relay NA of the RM 200.-adder selector to the battery. As can be seen, this has the effect that the relay NA after every ten steps

th of the RM 20. adder selector receives a rush current and that the armature na ¹ repeats these rushes and transmits them to the drive magnet TPM for stepping the selector arms TF ⁶¹ to W ^it . The arms W ⁶¹ and W ⁶² control a display device which corresponds to that shown in FIG. 11, while the arms W ^6S and W ^{6i cause} the relay PX to be energized every ten switching steps, by one

RM 2000. Registration for the HPM magnet

of the RM 2000th adder selector.

The RM 2000 is in a corresponding way.

Adding selector arranged so that it controls a display device ^{with its arms PF 71} and TF ^72. If its arms W ³ and TF ^{74 run} into the tenth bank contact, the relay PY is energized in order to transmit a current impulse to the magnet ThPM of the RM 20000th adder selector ThPC. Of course, other voters controlled in a corresponding manner can be added if the system is sufficiently large.

If there is a need for slip issuing machines that dispense notes of value over RM 200.—, a transfer selector is required which corresponds to the STS selector and between the RM 20.- adding selector PCS and the RM

200. Adding selector TPC would have to be switched on.

This selector is switched in such a way that

that those who operate the RM 200th machines

Collective dialers are temporarily shut down in order to transfer the tens from the

RM 20. Adding selectors to be enabled.

The same applies to any note issuing machines to be provided for notes of value RM 2000.—.

The arrangements that govern the operation of the total adding machine will now be described cause. As can be easily understood, for this purpose there needs to be a distinction between not to be made of the amounts staked on the various horses, but to be made only depends on the total amount of the issued notes or notes.

What, for example, the RM 2nd collective selector

TS of the total adding machine shown in FIG. 12, it has already been stated that the relay TA is energized by grounding the line 198 at the relay C and then locked via the armature ta ¹ to the line 200 grounded by the armature tb ^x. At the armature ta ² , earth is switched through via the line 199 from the relevant contact in the bank of the voter arm W ⁹² to the corresponding contact in the bank of the voter arm PF ⁹¹ . The collective selector TS runs continuously over a circuit that runs from earth at the armature ίο ¹ via the armature tb ² , the line 199, the break contacts of 25 relays, corresponding to the relay TA, to the bank contacts of the arm W ^9Z and also through normally closed contacts of 25 relays, which correspond to the relay TJ , to the bank of the voter arm TF ⁹⁶ , so that the entire fifty contacts of the bank are grounded when no slips are issued. This grounding takes place via the arm W ⁹² , the line 204, the switch springs tsm ¹ and the winding of the drive magnet TSM connected to the battery. As long as

IO

before arm W ⁹³ or arm W ^{96 run} into grounded bank contacts, the drive magnet TSM is excited in a self-interrupting circuit in order to keep the arms in circulation. Since, in the present case, the relay TA is energized when the arm PF ⁹² hits the first bank contact, it does not meet any grounding, but is earthed from the line 199 and the energized armature ta ³ via the first bank contact and the arm PP ⁹¹ , the line 205 and the winding of the relay TD connected to the battery. The relay TD responds and connects to its armature ta ¹ ground via the line 207 and the armature tf ¹ to the winding of the relay TE of the RM 2nd total adder TSC to the battery. At the armature td ² , a blocking circuit for the relay TD is closed, which is monitored by the relay TA ^{connected to the arm PF 93.} At armature td ³ , earth is switched through via line 203, arm PF ⁹⁴ and the first bank contact to the left terminal of the lower winding of relay TA . The relay TA is therefore short-circuited and, when it drops out, enables the relay TD to drop out as well, whereupon the selector TS begins its rotation again as a result of the self-interruption until it takes up another registration. The relay TD opens the circuit of the relay TE (Fig. 13) when it drops, which in turn separates the circuit of the drive magnet TSCM and thus causes the advancement of the selector arms W ' ¹⁰¹ to PF ¹⁰⁶ to the next bank contacts.

As can be seen from the foregoing, the selector arms W ¹⁰⁵ and W ^10B monitor the display device of the overall display in a manner which broadly corresponds to the operation described with reference to FIGS. If the relay TA drops out , it switches off the grounding from the line 74, which runs to the blocking circuit of the isolating relay SR , which belongs to the relevant RM 2nd deciphering relay group. Therefore, relay SR remains energized until the bet has been registered on the total adder selectors. It is therefore impossible to issue another slip of paper. If the RM 2. bets are properly registered with the total adder for the market amounts TSC , the arm W ¹⁰¹ switches to earth via the line 405, the armature bw ^z and the lower winding of the two-step relay BW to the battery via a resistor. The relay BW pulls its light armature ^{BW 1} in this circuit, and if the arm W ¹⁰¹ goes one step further, the relay BW is completely over ground, armature tf ² , line 117, armature BW ¹ , both windings of the relay BW and Battery energized in series. When the selector arm TF ^{101 of} the selector TSC has covered a further ten switching steps, the line 405 is again grounded in a corresponding manner in order to excite the second storage relay BX , while the third and fourth storage relays BY and BZ are excited one after the other as soon as the 6g selector TSC took another ten steps. When four RM 20.-tens transmissions have been set and the relay BZ is energized, is switched through at the armature bz ⁱ earth via the line 406 to excite the relay TO , which then disconnects the armature to ¹ earth from the common line 199 and thereby the Voter TS collecting activity interrupts. At armature to ² , earth is switched through via line 407 and armature th ¹ to the right terminal of relay TH , which was energized in the following way when the start button TWK was pressed: earth, armature tf ² , line 117, winding of relay TH, first Bank contact of the selector arm IfF ^{114 of} the total transfer selector TST for the mark amounts, breaker springs tstm ¹ , winding of magnet TSTM and battery. Since earth is now directly applied to the side of the winding of the relay TH located after the battery, this relay is short-circuited and drops out, while the magnet TSTM can respond and the arms PF ¹¹¹ to W ^{114 £ are connected} to the second bank contacts. After the fall of the relay TH of the surge current is at anchor th ²

circle for the RM 20. Collective selector (not

shown) that belongs to the total adding machine. At the armature th ³ the connection via which the current impulses are transmitted directly to the impulse relay of the RM 20. The following circuit now arises: From the grounding at the armature bw ³ via the second bank contact and the arm PF ¹¹³ and the winding of the relay TG to the battery. This relay is energized and switches through at its armature tg ¹ earth via line 208 to the rush relay of the RM 20. Adding selector, which corresponds to the PCS selector for the horse adding machine. In addition, arm PF ^{111 is} grounded at armature tg ^{2 in} order to bypass relay BW . A circuit for the drive magnet TSTM is closed at armature tg ^3. If the BPF relay drops out, s opens the circuit of the TG relay, which therefore also drops out and disconnects the circuit of the pulse relay of the RM 20 adder ^{at armature ig 1.} The excitation circuit of the drive magnet TSTM is opened at armature tg ^3. Therefore

the RM 20. Adding selector for the total

adder advanced one step to illuminate the number on the RM 20 display. When the magnet TSTM is de-energized , the arms of the selector TST are connected upstream to the third bank contacts. In this position the relay TG is again energized, from the earth at the armature hx ³

off, and thereby another current impulse is transmitted to the RM 20. adder selector of the total adder. In a corresponding manner, the registration marks of the relays BY and BZ are also collected and fed to the RM 20. adder selector. Once this has taken place, the arm W ^xli rests on the sixth bank contact. In this position, the magnet TSTM switches the battery through to the winding of the relay TH, which is then re-energized to start the RM 20. collective selector and close the surge circuit for the RM 20. adder selector. In addition, the fall of the relay BZ results in the relay TC being de-energized, so that the selector TS can continue its rotation.

However, it can now happen that three of the storage relays can be excited. Therefore the arrival

ao order is made so that the transfer selector TST performs a special movement to collect these registrations and to prevent incorrect summing. The necessary circuits for bringing about this process are not shown, but their training offers no difficulties, since it is only necessary to make provision that the selector TS T is brought into the working position when the button TWT is released.

The next steps of the note issuing machine will now be described, as a result of which a note of value is issued via RM 2, following the processes described above. As you can remember, when the collective selector SS came up on a marked contact, the relay C was energized in series with the impulse relay MA belonging to the RM 2nd adding selector of the horse adding machine. A circuit is then closed, which is connected from earth via the armature c ¹ (FIG. 12), the line 72, the armature pb ⁸ , the line 54, the armature cw ⁹ , the line 20, the armature cc ³ and the winding of the Relay TR to battery runs. The relay TR is then energized and opens the circuit of the relay SC at the armature tr ¹ and connects the grounding of the normally closed contact springs of the release button CK via the line 17 to the cam magnet CM (FIG. 4). This then pulls its armature CMA in order to switch over the associated spring package. The motor M is switched on again on one spring contact group and the battery is connected to the magnetic coupling MCB on the other, which attracts the drive wheel DW. This causes the cam mechanism to rotate to effect the printing and dispensing of a slip of paper. The cam magnet CM lifts the armature CMA out of a groove in the cam pressure plate TP , and during

The following rotation of this plate causes the armature to hit the surface and thereby keep the associated spring assembly switched on regardless of the excitation of the cam magnet. This is de-energized when the relay TR drops out as a result of the opening of its circuit when the relay SC is de-energized. The printed slip is then given to the racecourse visitor. The arrangement could, if desired, also readily be made so that by interrupting the aisle of the cutting device, the four slips of paper requested by the racecourse visitor are issued in the form of a coherent strip.

The sequence of the processes described above resulted in the issuing of a printed slip of paper to the visitor to the racecourse and the registration of the staked amount in the relevant adding machine assigned to the horse and in the total adding machine. Since the drive magnet of the amount selector VSW is also de-energized when the relay SC drops out, the associated selector arms T ^ ⁹⁰¹ and TF ^{902 are connected} upstream to the second bank contacts. Furthermore, when the relay SC drops out, ground potential from the armature se ^{2 is switched} through to the horse key 40 via armature te ³ , conductor 3 and the activated springs of the win key. From there, the circuit to the battery is completed via the fortieth go bank contact of the key character selector CS, the arm W ^a and the winding of the relay Z. The relay Z is therefore again excited and, together with the relay S, which is also re-excited, closes the circuit of the stop magnet SM for the type wheel. In addition, earth is switched through from the line 2 via the armature z ² , the line 5, the Wahlerarm W ¹⁶ and the bank contact 40 to the relevant lamp that characterizes the horse. Then through the bank contacts and the arms W ¹ *, W ^1S , W ™, W ^ and W ¹⁰ earth to excite the relays AA, AB, AC, AD and AE of the associated deciphering relay group switched through, which in turn circuits for the marking of the relevant Contact in the collective voter's bank.

When the issue of the slip has ended, the cam pressure plate TP returns to its starting position and releases the cam magnet armature CMA so that it can also return the associated contact springs to the starting position. Then the circuits of the clutch magnet MCB and n _{5 of} the motor M are separated, so that the printing and output mechanisms are stopped. The relay SC is then again excited via the lowermost pair of contact springs and prepares a circuit for the relay TR , which when it is excited by means of a current supplied by the total adding machine, the output of a

additional notes permitted. The relay SC in turn causes, as before, the separation of the earth from the control lines leading to the deciphering relay groups, so that the relay BF drops out and the relay SR is energized. Since the race course visitor who wanted to place the amount of RM 8.- has to receive a total of four slips of paper, the processes described above have to take place four times until the slip issuing machine is ready to hand over other different types of notes or notes. When the four slips of paper have been issued, arms TF ⁹⁰¹ and Pf ^{902 of} the amount selector VSW are connected upstream to the fifth bank contacts and in this position earth the relay TC via the switched on spring contacts of the RM 8th value amount key. This responds and separates at its anchor te ¹ a contact lying in the excitation circuit of the relay SC. At anchor ic ² · the circuit of the key lock magnet KLM and VKM is opened in order to release the key of horse no. 40, the win key WK and the amount key for RM 8.—. Another contact is opened at the armature tc ^s , which is in the earthed circuit leading to the upstream contacts of the win button WK.

Since the amount key is now gone back to their ordinary position, the relay TC -fällt and closes at anchor te ² a circuit from Earth on the Suspension of the release button on the line 4 and that are available in its normal position springs X thereby the voters FSl-F returned to its original position. This is done by self-interruption through the bank of Arm W ^aoz . Therefore, when the cam pressure plate again reaches its normal position after the output of the last slip of the most recently issued group of slips, the associated springs are released; but since the amount key is no longer depressed, relay SC cannot be re-energized. The slip issuing machine is therefore completely restored to its initial state.

The issue of several test certificates will now be described for the purpose of checking the operation of the facility without influencing the facilities in the control center. This is done by pressing the win key WK or the space key PK, the test key TK and one or the other amount key. When the test button TK is pressed, grounding is switched through via the armatures sc ^{2 and} fc ³ , the line 3, the activated springs of the gain or space keys, the activated springs of the test button TK and the line 408 to the fiftieth bank contact of the key-character selector CS (Fig. 5). Grounding to the winding of the starting relay S is switched through via other springs of the test button TK that are switched on. This relay responds in the manner described above and closes a circuit for the locking magnet KLM ^{at armature 2} and a circuit for the relay TS at armature s ¹ , which is energized and in turn switches on the clutch MCA , and at armature s ³ the circuit for the motor M, which then drives the character wheel shaft and the arms W ¹ to W ¹⁶ until the arm W ^{9 runs up} against the bank contact 50. In this position, earth is switched through via arm W ⁹ and line 11 to relay Z (Fig. 3), which responds and opens the circuit of TS at armature z ^{1 in} order to de-energize the clutch MCA and the circuit of the stop magnet Close SM for the character wheel. In this way the character wheel is locked in the fiftieth position. The relay Z also prepares a circuit for the relay TR at the armature z ³ and switches the armature z ² · earth from the line 2 via the armature z ² , the line 5, the contacts of the activated amount key, the line 32, which leads to Cam pressure plate associated break contact springs, the line 31 and the armature te ¹ to the winding of the relay SC through. The relay SC then responds and locks on its armature sc ^5, via the armature tr ¹ on the release button and also closes the following go circuit: earth ^{, armature 3} , activated springs of the test button TK, line 409, armature sc ^s , winding of the Relay TR and battery. The relay TR is then energized and creates an excitation circuit for the cam magnet CM in order to set the printing mechanism in motion, which then outputs the slip in the manner described. Since the selector arcne and the type wheel have advanced to the fiftieth position of the key character selector, which is not connected, no connections are made with the deciphering relay group shown in FIG. The system in the control center therefore remains unaffected. In the fiftieth position, the type wheel is appropriately provided with the word "test slip" instead of the usual horse number, so that. the issue of the slip is clearly marked under supervision by the test button and these slips cannot be mistaken for betting slips for certain horses. As can be seen from the above description, the output of check slips continues until the arms of the amount selector VSW hit the contact that is marked by pressing the amount key. This then results in the closure of a circuit for the relay TC and the separation of the excitation circuit of the relay SC at the armature te ¹ . In addition, the circuits of the key locking magnets KLM and VKM are opened.

The release mechanism will now be described, with the help of which the officer in the slip issuing machine can reverse a bet that has already been registered as long as the amount key has not yet been pressed. If the release button CK, which is shown in Fig. 3, is pressed under these conditions, then on the left spring contacts. Earth is disconnected from the key lock magnet KLM , while at its other spring contacts the earth is separated from the win or place keys and thus from the horse keys and the arms of the key character selector CS . The circuits of the lower windings of the relevant relays of the deciphering group (Fig. 6) are therefore opened. Furthermore, on the activated contact springs of the release button earth via the line 16, the armature cqr "", the line 52, the armature pb ^e and sr ⁷ , the winding 76 and the lower winding of the relay A (Fig. 12) to the battery Relay A is therefore excited and opens the blocking circuit of the storage relays of the deciphering relay group at armature a ² and the circuit of relay SR at armature a ¹ Collective selector marked by earthing, since relay C has disconnected at armature a *.

As for the registration of bets on horses 41 to 80, it should be pointed out that the keys assigned to these horses are provided with additional working contacts, with the help of which 6 changeover relays COR are grounded via a line, which therefore respond and those of Switch the key lines outgoing from the slip issuing machine to a special deciphering relay group, which is assigned its own collective selector. This forwards the registrations in his contact bank to the horse adding machines 41 to 80. Therefore, through the additional line between the slip issuing machine and the adding system located in the control center, the necessary switching operations can be carried out so that the capacity includes twice the number of horses. The way of working when issuing a slip or note for the bet on “Platz” does not require any detailed description. It should only be noted that by pressing the place button PK instead of the win button WK, the swinging pawl remains in its normal position, the place lamp PL lights up and earth is switched through via line 12, armature cor ¹ and line 46 to relay PB . When responding to its armatures pb ¹ to pb ^8, this relay switches the operating lines to the place totaliser, on which the amount set is registered in the same way as was previously described for the profit totaliser.

The various zeroing circuits that are provided to return the selectors to their original position when they are no longer locked will now be described. 6s If you want to return the adding machines assigned to the horse and the total adding machine to the starting position, the depressed keys, e.g. B. the key SK, the total win key TWK (Fig. 7) and the total space key (not shown), released, whereupon the relay MB is de-energized. The zero setting circuits assigned to the various adding selectors of the horse adding machine 40 are then closed on the armatures mb ³ to mb ⁷ , and the grounding is separated from the selector arms on the armature mb ¹ , which monitor the display device of the marrow adding selector SCS. At the armature wo ² the circuit of the impulse relay MA and at armature mb ⁷ one of the parallel circuits of the common relay NC (Fig. 8) that controls the drive of the RM 2nd collective selector is opened. to

it should be mentioned that an armature corresponding to armature mb ¹ can be arranged in such a way that the arms of the adding selector for the RM 20.-, RM 200.-, RM 2000 .- and RM 20000 .- amounts are grounded by it, to prevent any display while the selector arms are being reset or the entire system is not in operation. Furthermore, by releasing the button TWK, the circuit of the relay TB (Fig. 12) is opened, which in turn causes the relay TF (Fig. 13) to drop out, whereby the circuit of the pulse relay TE is disconnected at the armature tf ^{1 and a} circuit of the pulse relay TE is activated at the armature tf ² Reset circuit for the selector TSC is closed. The remaining adding selectors, which belong to the total adding machine, are switched to the zero position in a corresponding manner, the circuits used for this purpose being closed by further armatures of the relay TF.
